Recensione

"This lively and important collection of essays repositions the criticism of masques to better account for competing court allegiances which the Stuart court masque negotiated....this important volume must be praised for bringing to our attention a new way to conceive of the masque's relation to court politics, an increased appreciation for the position of women in the masque's creative process, and, indeed, a more nuanced understanding of Stuart absolutist ideology." Susanne F. Paterson, Albion

"Every library should possess this collection, and every scholar interested in early modern court and civic life should read it, as Bacon counsels, "wholly, and with Diligence and Attention."" Sixteenth Century Journal

"The Politics of the Stuart Court Masque is, finally, an exceptionally good collection of essays that offers substantial, detailed and informative reconsiderations of an important cultural form." Essays in Theatre
